Gas prices down six cents since Friday

KALAMAZOO - That crazy yo-yo that is Southwest Michigan gas prices is on the way down.

Just four days ago, prices went up to $2.75, a jump of 20 cents per gallon at some stations. Now the prices are quickly on the way down, by as much as 6 cents per gallon.

The lowest price in the area is $2.68 at the Marathon, Admiral, Citgo, Murphy USA and Speedway stations in Niles, according to www.gasbuddy.com.

Many more stations are just a penny higher at $2.69, which is the lowest price in Kalamazoo at the Speedway on River Street, the Speedway on Portage Road and Zylman Road, the Quick Stop on West Main Street and the Marathon on East Michigan Avenue.

Most of the gas stations in the area are still at the $2.75 mark, though. Some of those may be coming down today.
